Licht Jekylland Todoroki

Licht Jekylland Todoroki, also refered to as Licht Todoroki, is a famous pianist from Austria who thinks he's an angel. He is the Eve of "Lawless", the Servamp of Greed.

Appearance
He is a slightly tall boy with black hair that has a small strand of white hair on the left side of his head. His eyes are grey (blue in the anime), and he's normally seen with an annoyed expression.

Personality
Although Licht is already 18 years old, he often behaves like a naive child. He thinks himself of an angel and means it; he seems to be far off reality and is often described as a denpa. Even though Licht is very violent, especially towards vampires, he seems to love animals (as shown in the Drama CDs), but he does not recognize the Servamps if they are in animal form.

Licht is rarely shown smiling; he always seems angered, but it is easy to influence him with the right methods. Although he seems to be cold and cruel, he still is a child in his heart.

Background
Licht was raised by his parents in Austria, Vienna (German:Wien). His mother is a international celebrated pianist from Austria and his father a star violinist who originally came from Japan but was raised in France. Since his early childhood Licht loved to play the piano and was very good at it.

Once he was so nervous at a concert that his hair became white and although it became black again, one part of his hair remains white. Later on a tour, Licht found a hedgehog in his room and initially loved it. He named him "Hyde" and but did not understand the circumstances that he put himself in. He left his room for the concert and when he came back, he found a young man standing in his room who turned out to be the hedgehog he originally picked up, the Servamp of Greed by the name of Lawless. By accident, Licht formed a contract with him and from this time on, the two of them always fought with each other. Licht believes that he has to kill and purify the demons but Lawless pokes fun at him since he fully believes that he is an angel.

First meeting
Licht comes to Japan because a relative of Licht's wanted to organize a concert in Tokyo. So he, alongside Lawless and his manager Rosen Kranz, travel to Tokyo. Licht does not know that the so called "relative" is an impostor and actually Tsubaki. The evening before the concert, Licht is in town (probably to follow his hobby, karaoke) and is observed by Mahiru Shirota - but Licht eventually realizes this and confronts him. After he is sure that Kuro is also a demon, he attacks him. Licht kicks him with his boots and Kuro assumes that his boots are his weapon (Lead). As Lawless shows himself (before he was as a hedghog in a cage) he tells his brother, Sleepy Ash, that he tricked him, Mahiru, and also his Eve Licht because it would be funny if Licht and Kuro fought. Licht gets mad and kicks Lawless; he also tells Mahiru that he doesn't like his Servamp and is searching for a way to kill him.

Showdown in the Opera
While Licht performs at his concert in Tokyo's Opera City Hall, his Servamp, Lawless, is attacked by Tsubaki's Subclass. All of the audience are revealed to be Tsubaki's Subclass and about 2,000 of them were slaughtered by Lawless. Lawless succeeds in destroying nearly all of them and even has fun doing it. The only one who survived were Belkia and Lila who managed to escape. Licht did not really recognize what happened while he was playing and shouts at Lawless telling him that he was too noisy while he was trying to play the piano. So after the show Eve and Servamp part ways. Licht goes to sing karaoke all night long. When he wants to return to the hotel, he realizes, that his legs are so heavy, he nearly can't walk anymore and phones Rosen Kranz. He asks him where Lawless is, assuming that they were too far apart. The suddenly weakened Licht is attacked by Higan - the strongest fighter of Tsubaki's Subclass. Although Licht can fight him pretty well, he still is hurt badly. Mahiru and Kuro come to his aid. But just when Kuro is about to attack, he melts into a mysterious ball. Licht "creates" a large piano (and plays it in walking over it) and with it's music he tries to encourage Mahiru to fight in telling him: the question is not IF he wants to become someone but WHO he wants to become. But he fails and is beaten by Higan who kidnaps him.

Kidnapped
Tsubaki keeps Licht and Lawless in his HQ imprisoned. The two of them are in seperated rooms, but can hear each other. First they think they only hear each others voices in their heads but realize that they really are not that far from each other. They start to argue - they talk about what happens if Licht dies here, but for Licht, dying is out of question. As the argument escalates, Licht somehow frees himself and destroyes the wall between them.

For the first time, it seems they work together when they try to fight Tsubaki and just in that moment, Tsubaki manages to defeat Lawless. Soon afterwards C3 appears and scares away Tsubaki. The fight is over and Licht alongside his Servamp goes to Mahirus home. There he is lured away by C3 who promise him to have a lot of melons at the HQ. Lawless tries to make clear that this has to be a trap, but Licht does not listen.

C3
After Tsurugi Kamiya went on a rampage in the C3 headquarter, Licht and Lawless found Mahiru and Kuro who were no longer able to fight and promised that they will stop him. They later met Wrath on the way who picked them both up and ran after Tsurugi.
